Details
For forty years, filmmaker Alan Berliner has clipped out photos that caught his eye from the pages of The New York Times, keeping them meticulously filed and cross-indexed as a self-appointed archivist and librarian.
Driven by his obsession, Berliner has completed the work of nearly a lifetime, by transforming and reinterpreting his collection of images into the language of his own voice.
Comprised of thousands of photographs from his collection, this filmic essay is an exploration narrated by Berliner with humour and insight. The flow of images pays homage to the multi-faceted achievement of photojournalism to capture the scope of human experience from war to whimsy. The span of his archive starting in the late 70s chronicles the small and large changes that the world has undergone. Every picture tells a story and Berliner weaves them into a profound tapestry.
Letter to the Editor is a baby boomer’s lament on the end of an era, on coping with change, on time passing, on growing old, and on staying informed and engaged during these challenging and uncertain times.
Followed by a Q&A with director Alan Berliner.
